Problems of organizational development of machine-building enterprises in the context of digitalization.

Relevance. Modern environmental conditions are a turning point for the development of the machine-building industry, where traditional organizational and managerial mechanisms are exhausting themselves as a productive activator of the production component. It is necessary to make a technological breakthrough in the scale of progress of the entire industrial sector of the economy. The purpose of the research is to scientifically substantiate the main directions of organizational development of enterprises of the machine-building complex, taking into account the challenges of the external environment. The objectives of the research are to study the trends and problems of organizational development of machine-building industry enterprises at the federal and regional levels with the definition of modern aspects of their activities, which is necessary to form the conceptual foundations of the transformation of the machine-building complex. Methodology . The methodological basis of the research consists of general scientific methods of cognition, statistical methods, as well as the principles and methods of the systematic approach. Results. As a result of the research, the possibility of functional restoration of mechanical engineering after the loss of the share of foreign products in the territory of the Russian Federation is identified, the factors of influence and digital responses of business are highlighted based on the analysis of strategies for responding to economic shocks. Based on the analysis of case-practices of domestic and foreign experience, the possibilities of transforming mechanical engineering in the context of organizational development are determined, taking into account the identified internal reserves of machine-building organizations using the example of the Orel region. Conclusions . The problems of organizational development of enterprises of the machine-building complex, taking into account its differentiation, require a special approach based on the development of model solutions and the creation of theoretical and methodological structures in the following areas: the formation of a unique profile in the modern ecosystem for regional engineering; the functional restoration of industry enterprises based on the principles of digital transformation; the development of a projective methodology for the formation of a culture of open innovation in enterprises ensuring synergy in the use of traditional areas of strategic potential development and digital drivers of industrial transformation for sustainable development.
